Emergency Backup Power (or Take a Hike, Ike!)

Remember Hurricane Ike? No power? No airconditioning? NO TV!?

This class is all about emergency power for the non-technical person. What you need to know to select the best backup power source for you, what questions to ask (and potential answers), and what to look for. There's more than running to Lowe's or Home Depot to buy a "generator" and plug it in. Bob Schwartz makes knowing the specifices palatable and understandable! The handout contains lots of specific info that is necessary to understand your unique situation. Print out the handout and bring it with you. Just hang in there and Bob will take you by the hand so for the next "Ike" you will have power!

Doors open at 6:00 pm. The first 64 to grab a chair are in the class. Sorry, but #65 will have to wait until the next class - Fire Marshall's orders!
